Weiyang Palace.
It was exceptionally quiet.
The crackling sound of firewood burning in the stove.
It proved that this was not a frozen image.
"Your Majesty, do you want to destroy the entire aristocratic family?”
Xun Yu's throat rolled as he said dryly.
The aristocratic families that had existed since the Mud Mountain Meeting had crossed the bottom line of the emperor.
And the emperor also had the ability to destroy an entire aristocratic family.
Under the collision.
The ending seemed to have been decided.
"Zhen, our Great Han Dynasty no longer needs the existence of aristocratic families, and the common people no longer need the wisdom of aristocratic families.”
Liu Hong thought of how the aristocratic families of the imperial court had collectively launched an attack during the day and sneered,""The aristocratic families are becoming more and more selfish, and they are gradually becoming vermin entrenched in the roots of the country. Xun Yu, Xun You, tell me, what should I do?”
"I don't know!"
Xun Yu closed his eyes. Two streams of tears flowed down his face.
As the heir of a top-notch aristocratic family, he was destined to rule the Xun family in the future. He was extremely conflicted.
For the sake of the country, for the sake of His Majesty, and for the sake of the people, he should take out a huge amount of gold and silver from the national treasury, create countless papers, and sell them to the poor families of the world at a price lower than the price of grass fed to cattle.
For the sake of the aristocratic families.
Under the four national policies that were about to be announced, the scheme seemed extremely laughable.
"Secretly making paper!"
" Open up the imperial collection!"
"Hire a scholar from a poor family who can read and write to copy the books!”
"Choose a suitable opportunity to sell paper and books at a low price in the Imperial Bookstore!”
"Build academies with royal backgrounds in various parts of the country and allow poor scholars of the right age to enroll for free!”
"If we can make laws to force the children of the right age to attend school, in less than thirty years, all the scholars in the world will be the disciples of the emperor, and the aristocratic families will cease to exist!”
Xun You said slowly.
In the limited time, he made a position and presented six strategies.
One plan after another, each more vicious than the last, each more damaging to the foundation of the aristocratic families.
"Gongda…"
Xun Yu looked at his nephew, who was older than him and younger than him, and suddenly felt very unfamiliar.
The old man of the family once commented that Xun You was taciturn and stupid, and could not be put to great use.
At this moment.
Xun You's entire person was radiating with wisdom. His schemes were nimble and changeable. Such a person was called stupid. How many people in the world could be considered intelligent?
"I'm not the son of a noble family, and I've never received any favors from a noble family!”
Xun You returned the favor with a smile and said lightly,""What does the destruction of the aristocratic families have to do with me?
On the contrary.
Your Majesty treats me as a statesman, and I must repay him as a statesman!
Uncle, you have a gentle and pure personality. You know that this plan is not a good thing, so I'll have to offend you!
Your Majesty, I request that Xun Yu be placed under house arrest or be monitored by the Jinyiwei day and night. All government affairs handled by him should be reviewed by me before being issued!”
Pulling out a catty of radish, he produced two catty of mud.
No one could believe how powerful the aristocratic families that had emerged from thousands of years of hardship were.
What if the plan was leaked?
The aristocratic families would definitely launch their fiercest counterattack. Even if the country won, the national strength would be greatly exhausted.
Hence, he decided to do it.
Xun You chose to avoid risks.
He looked at his uncle apologetically and knelt in front of the Emperor. He said firmly,""I implore Your Majesty to consider the country and the people. Don't be merciful!”
"Hmm?"
Liu Hong's mouth twitched, and his claws went numb.
From a personal point of view and Xun Yu's loyalty, he was willing to believe that Xun Yu would not leak the secret.
With Xun You's words, he should be more stable as the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this is also a form of protection for me!”
Xun Yu took the initiative to speak up and sighed." I can't face my heart. I'm afraid to face everything that is about to happen!"
Now, with Gongda helping me make a decision, there's no need to be conflicted!
Your Majesty, please forgive this minister's cowardice. Whether it's house arrest or Jinyiwei surveillance, this minister can accept it without complaint!
Your Majesty, please issue an edict!"
"The country's finances still can't do without you.”
Liu Hong nodded and thought for a moment." Let the Jinyiwei follow you. If the aristocratic families are forced into a corner and attack you, the Jinyiwei will be able to protect you."”
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Xun Yu smiled bitterly and gritted his teeth." I'm afraid that promoting the four national policies at the court meeting will cause dissatisfaction among the aristocratic families. There's a high chance that they will fight for the positions of the chief assistant, the second assistant, the group assistant, and the six ministers!
He wanted to minimize the losses caused by the destruction of the aristocratic families. The positions of the cabinet's chief assistant, second assistant, and six ministers could not be given to officials from aristocratic families!
He could give them a few more positions to reduce the resistance of the aristocratic families.
As for the specific candidates, His Majesty and Gongda can discuss them in detail!
When Pulp and Paper became a blessing to the poor, everything would be settled!
Your Majesty, this is all I can do!”
Xun You's plan only focused on the pressure of the situation, forcing the aristocratic families to submit. The process was too dangerous.
He was also a top-notch wise man. He could see through the flaws in the plan and find a way to make up for it after some thought.
"I will take my leave!"
"Go ahead."
Liu Hong sighed.
The plan had yet to start, and Xun Yu was being held back first. This was undoubtedly the loss of a general.
"Minister Xu, only you and I are left. Who do you think is the most suitable person to be the chief of the cabinet?”
"I thought…"
……
Liangzhou.
The sky was filled with snow.
It still could not hide the urgency of the people to rebuild their homes. When they were hungry, they would eat dry rations, drink snow water, and never rest until they were too tired to move their fingers.
"Ha!"
Cao Cao threw the last piece of rock weighing dozens of pounds into the ditch and called his workmates back to their temporary tents to rest.
He did not rest immediately after setting an example.
After taking a big detour back to the Provincial Governor's Office, he carried the lamp and dealt with the state affairs.
Suddenly.
He stopped reading.
"Someone, please invite Mr. Li Ru over.”
"Mr. Li Ru has arrived!"
"Provincial Governor!"
The thin figure shook off the snowflakes on his body and deliberately increased his pace. He walked into the hall and bowed.
"Wenyou (Li Ru), you came at the right time. The Xiongnu royal court has sent an envoy to Liangzhou City and requested to enter Luoyang to meet the emperor.”
Cao Cao made a cup of hot tea for the person and asked directly.
"It's just an envoy. There's nothing to worry about!"
"Send a team of guards to follow the Xiongnu envoy to Luoyang!”
"I thought so too, but I had a feeling that the Xiongnu envoy would cause trouble on the way. The commander of the guards was not decided for a long time, so I asked you to come.”
"Let me do it!"
Li Ru stretched and yawned,""Rumor has it that Luoyang is as prosperous as a fairyland. I've long wanted to see it!”
"Haha, rumors can't be trusted. Luoyang is indeed more prosperous than Guzang, but it's very limited. However, since you've spoken, let's go take a look.”
